IVF after Fallopian tube removal

Hi
I wondered if anyone could help me.
I just had my last Fallopian tube removed following my 3rd ectopic pregnancy.
My only hope now is IVF, which I'm so eager to crack on with.
I had my tube removed on 23rd January and I just wondered how long anyone waited before they began the IVF (in vitro fertilization) process.
Thank you.

I have had my tubes removed too. I was told about 6 weeks, each clinic is different. I'm about to start my first IVF (in vitro fertilization) just over a year after my op but that's because I waited to see if could get nhs funding etc. I couldn't so i'm self funding.

I'm sorry you lost your tubes too.
Thank you very much for this advice.
We don't get IVF (in vitro fertilization) funding either and I've booked in for my first IVF (in vitro fertilization) consultant for 15th March. 7 weeks Post surgery.

Congratulations on your successful IVF! ✨💓
Thank you for this, gives me so much hoping with wanting to start right away.
Can I ask, was it your first round of IVF that was successful? xx

It was my first transfer that was a success!

My first ivf got cancelled as they realised is needed my tube removed due to fluid in it, I had it removed and then started ivf again so in a way the answer is yes it was my first cycle that was successful as the cycle that got cancelled doesn’t really count! Xx

Hi I’m in a similar boat as you. I’m having my tube removed wed due to some fluid. Been told I can do Ivf 6 weeks after the operation. It all depends on when your period starts etc with when you can start Ivf too. So my period is due 5 weeks after the operation so can’t start that month, so I’ve worked out I can start in April. I’m hoping my period is a bit late and I can start at 6 weeks.

I am 30 and DH (dear husband) (dear husband) is 34, I had both my tubes removed this week due to blockage. I am waiting for my wounds to heal before I start IVF. I have had my consent signing with the NHS and will hopefully start my first round in January/February.

Does anyone know how long you should wait after tubal removal before starting IVF?

I had my tube remove in the nov following my first ectopic, was due to start ivf the following March but found out I was pregnant but was my second ectopic when I had methotrexate so started ivf in the September

I had both my tubes removed too due to them being blocked- they were happy to refer me for IVF (in vitro fertilization) once I had healed, however due to moving down south (we were living in Lincolnshire at the time) and other circumstances we didn’t actually start IVF (in vitro fertilization) until about 18 months after.
